Description:
Let Me Count the Ways
written and recorded by Bill Pere
When was the last time a song really made you
reflect on your life, your hopes, your dreams ?
BILL PERE is a Grammy award winning songwriter, performer and recording artist,
known for lyrics that tell unforgettable tales of ordinary people who weave the
tapestry of human experience. Bill's songs can stand alone as a musical
experience, but there is always the important and subtle underlying message of
social conscience that makes them touch you even more deeply.
LEt Me Count the Ways is Bill's 17th release, recorded during the pandemic from 2020-2022. The album was originally intended to be 12 new songs that celebrate loving relationships. When the pandemic sent everything into quarantine, Bill had much more time to work in the studio. He started going back into old songs that had never been recorded, finding those that could have a life with a little facelift. So the 12-song album became a 37-track double album, with songs spanning 1966-2023.
Bill's lyrical artistry is evident, well
supported by his intricate and powerful music arrangements. His signature guitar
versatility is well represented by a variety of acoustic, electric, and Midi
styles, backed by full band accompaniment.
"Let Me Count the Ways" maintains the high level of songcrafting
and production since "Crest of a
Wave" caused a sensation when it was first released in 1991, through "High
School My School" in 2003.
Proceeds from the sale of Bill's CD's go to help Hunger Relief and
family service agencies, through Local United Network to Combat Hunger (L.U.N.C.H.).

Besides "Dare to Dream", there is "New Day Coming Tomorrow", "You'll See a
Much Brighter Day" and " Christmas Eve on the Poor Side of Town"

which includes "High School My School" (high school setting) "Crest
of a Wave" (maritime setting), "Cityscape" (urban setting), "Rural Mural" (rural
setting) and "College Collage" (college setting).
For a great collection of songs for kids and

to Think", "Songs for Kids With Common Scents" and "Songs For Kids Who
Touch the Stars".
